In this short interview, Rani describes living through extreme heat where even at night, it was difficult to sleep.
With MEER’s rooftop intervention, the space became cooler and livable again.

As highlighted by Robert Tulip:
Earth is getting darker faster.
We used to lose about 0.15% of our reflectivity each decade — now it’s 0.3%, heading toward 0.6%+.
This isn’t a slow change anymore. It’s speeding up.

Robert Tulip highlights a disturbing trend in Earth’s albedo decline: 0.15% in the first decade of the century, 0.3% in the second, and now a rate above 0.6% per decade. Darkening is accelerating.

Luke Kemp addresses the unequal drivers of climate change: a handful of emitters and the richest 1% are responsible for a disproportionate share of global emissions.

An international documentary film crew recently visited our African team in Kroo Bay, Freetown.
We’re excited to see how they capture the spirit of the community and how people are embracing climate adaptation through passive cooling.

History shows collapse isn’t random.
Luke Kemp says rising inequality is the thread connecting past empires to today’s global crises.

After 2 years,MEER reflective roofing materials on school buildings in Tanzania remain in great condition and continue reducing indoor temperatures. The slightly bumpy appearance comes from natural grass used during installation for insulation beneath the sheeting.

We are pleased to share a newly published, peer-reviewed article in Climatic Change, led by Dr. Sovacool, examining extreme heat in urban West Africa and low-energy surface cooling, using MEER’s work in Freetown as a case study.

Climate stabilization isn’t one fix. It’s cooling, restoring albedo, protecting ice sheets, and avoiding tipping points. Paul Gambill explains why we need a portfolio of solutions and why MEER’s local cooling work matters now.

Coral reefs may already be past a point of no return. As climate instability deepens, the very systems needed to respond are breaking down. This isn’t just ecological loss — it’s systemic failure. (Paul Gambill)
